• Summary
  
  Many years ago, a tragic event struck the planet, wiping out the human race. It is not known for sure what killed them off, but its catastrophic effects did not seem to affect the Pokemon of the world. It also left many of the structures intact and much data was left over. Pokemon, creatures already capable of extremely fast evolution, evolved slowly to use the technology left over by their precursors, who'd already exposed them to so many ideas and concepts, and many became bipedal and gained more nimble fingers to replace their foreleg paws. Slowly but surely, their society evolved to match the human societies from so long ago, with schools, governments, and more active religions in regards to the Legendary Pokemon. To this day, battling still holds as a worldwide sport, though no longer done by trainers, but by individuals, who pit themselves against other opponents. Contests are simply replaced by performers and entertainers. Still more research the world around them, using their abilities as Pokemon to find secrets that no human could've ever learned or teaching the next generation. One such Pokemon, known as Adagnitio the Noctowl, decided that he had taken his Archaeological career as far as it could go and decided to use the wealth he had accumulated through hard work and dedication to found the Miraculum Academy, an institution dedicated to higher education and educating the bright young minds of today to make a difference in the future, whether that be in the performing arts, a career in science, or any other job one wanted to pursue. You have been allowed to enter this prestigious school, not for your wealth, but your dedication to better yourself for Adagnitio did not believe that wealth should be a factor in one's education. Welcome...to Miraculum Academy, student! I hope your stay is a long and happy one!

• School Rules
  1.) Do not battle on school grounds save for the Training Grounds. Failure to do so will result in punishment to your Head Counselor's discretion.
  
  2.)While freedom of clothing is generally allowed, due not abuse this room. It is at your Head Counselor's discretion what is appropriate to wear and if they demand you change, you will do so or be punished. This is obviously not the case on Weekends, when classes will not be undertaken and Abra Teleporting service will be provided.
  
  3.) Any reports of bullying will be investigated. It will fall into the Head Counselor's discretion as to whether it is bullying or a disagreement and any blatantly false reports will result in punishment. Any true reports will result in a punishment depending on the nature of the transgression.
  
  4.) If for some absurd reason you decide to bring a weapon to school despite already having the ability to breathe fire, shoot electricity, or whatever moves you're capable of using, you WILL be expelled. If you have some actually good reason to have it with you for a period of time (NEVER PERMANENTLY), you may take it up with the Headmaster and it will be discussed at length in an Administration Meeting.
  
  5.) Skipping classes will result in an immediate punishment, including, but not limited to detention, cleaning dishes after every daily meal, cleaning the hallways for a certain period of time, or cleaning the restrooms at the end of the day. If you think this is some slap on the wrist, note that we rarely only assign just one of the punishments.
  
  6.) Skipping out on the punishments will increase the severity of the punishment. Yes, this does mean that, by dodging punishment enough, you can and will eventually be expelled from the grounds.
  
  7.) The Headmaster is always right.
  
  8.) If the Headmaster is wrong, refer to rule #7
  
  
  Signed,
  Headmaster Adagnitio​
  
  
  
  
• Roleplay Rules
  1.) Don't kill other people's characters unless there are unique circumstances and permission is explicitly given. This rule applies to EVERYONE without exception.
  
  2.) Don't god-mod or power-game. This means do not dictate everyone's actions without their permission(god-modding) and don't magically dodge everything and succeed at everything without fail (Power-Gaming)
  
  3.) All characters will be run through by myself. Please do not start RPing until I have approved of the character.
  
  4.) Please use common sense.
  
  5.) As we are still on RPN, please obey all site rules.
  
  6.) Please refrain from using long OOC sentences in IC posts. Doing this: (This is an example) is fine. If you have to say something OOC in an IC post, keep it short and sweet.
  
  7.) Be polite to other RPers. If there is a real issue, please bring it up with me.
  
  8.) I will announce how when a class period begins and ends while doing my best to give everyone plenty of time to post within break periods or during the electives.
  
  9.) If you want to express interest, please type or even copy/paste "Scientia" in your post to show that you actually read the rules.
  
  
  
• SettingThe Miraculum Academy was founded on the famous Mirage Island as events a thousand years ago changed the island from one that only appeared once a week to one that constantly changed save two locations. One is home to Aridia Town the side of the island and one that was home to the Miraculum Academy in the center of the Island, which is accessible via Abra's Teleportation service from each region's central city. The Island is also home to Mirage Pokemon, which resemble the Pokemon of old before the humans' extinction caused Pokemon to rise up and take their place. While they're not real in a literal sense, they can and will battle you so it's best to wander into the wilds with a route back or with a friend. The Academy notes when locations of particular intrigue show up, with some appearing at certain times of the week or month while others are less predictable.
  
• ClassesBesides the standard classes that are usually mandatory, Miraculum Academy provides a number of electives as well for you to sign up for. A list of them are provided below:

Meets on Wednesdays from 3:00PM-6:00 PM and on Saturdays from 12:00 PM-3:00 PM. Please wear appropriate clothing for the activities. A waiver will be provided ahead of time. You WILL get hurt in this class as it IS a battling class.
  Members: Zachary Penumbra, Sil Attreak, Mars Bolton
  
  Outdoors Club: Travel the ever-changing Mirage Island and learn to survive in a variety of different locations. Environment appropriate equipment will be provided during each outing. The schedule is subject to rapid change and so members will be notified via newsletter when a new outing has been planned rather than have a set schedule.
  Members: Zachary Penumbra, Lotus Crocus, Mars Bolton
  
  Choir: An elective meant for those finely tuned but not instrument proficient. It's the magical place where all the different voices come together into a lovely performance that will wow the entire school and even the neighbourhood during our facility events.

  Classes will be held on Wednesday from 12:00 PM to a 3:00 PM.
  Members: Kliffton Dines, Sil Attreak
  
  Theater: Be it to put your manipulative talents to good use, or to escape to an interactive alternative world, this elective is surely a very interesting experience for all to enjoy! Maybe your talent it's not acting, but costume making, or even makeup! Worry not, for there is certainly space for you to develop and have fun doing what you love most.
  Learn a lot about team work when you're planning a play together, and even more about organization when you separate the tasks amongst yourselves. Then dwell in the reward that is to have a full auditorium applaud all your combined efforts after an unforgettable show!
  Sessions will be held after school from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM unless stated otherwise.
  Members: Kliffton Dines, Adagio Libretta, Lotus Crocus, Christa Princesa

• CreditsI believe in credit where credit is due and this Roleplay would not have been possible without the help of the people below and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your great advice, tips, and contributions.
  
  @geeking out Who gave me great tips on how to start out and operate this kind of Roleplay.
  
  welian Who gave me a heck of a lot more confidence in posting this than I initially had(which was slim) and summoned the aid of another, that person being...
  
  Necessity4Fun who created the class descriptions for Choir, Band, and Theatre, saving them from what would've been rather dull descriptions made by me.
  
  Runesage Who initially, though possibly unintentionally, gave me the confidence to even start on this idea in the first place and has been a great help with pitching ideas.
  
  I cannot thank you enough for all the help I've received from you all. Thank you SO much for all of it.
  

Please make sure to read all of the Roleplay Rules. Reading the School Rules are optional, but recommended.

Zachary Penumbra stumbled as an Abra deposited him in the Aridia Town ATS Center. He shuddered as he shook away the faint dizziness. It'd been his first time teleporting and he'd already confirmed that he much preferred walking to instantaneous travel. Readjusting his cap, he made sure his bags had made it and nodded with a satisfied smile as he confirmed that they had. With wide-eyed wonder, he gazed upon the clean facility, with white tiled floors and white walls that had a blue trim at the bottom. There was a sliding glass door on the east end of the room and the west end. The west one would bring him to the Miraculum Academy ATS once everything was prepared while the other door would bring him out into the lobby area. Pulling out the letter he'd received from the school, he was to wait here and optionally use one of 3 terminals on the wall to select his electives while he waited. Checking his watch, he groaned as the time-zone had thrown it off and he looked up to the one on the wall. He was early by at least two hours. 'Great. This is gonna take forever.' he thought as he sat on a bench along the wall looking at the pamphlet's list of electives. Glancing up, he noted a total of 11 ATS exits, one per region. This at least gave him the hope that he wouldn't alone for long.

Citrine landed on her feet once the Abra dropped her off in the ATS Center. "What a rush!" She exclaimed and shook off the dizziness. Not to long afterwards, the Abra reappeared with her bags, dropped them near her feet, then teleported away once again. Citrine thanked the Abra despite it being long gone and picked her bags. She looked around at the bright white room and rubbed her eyes a bit. 'This room is seriously blinding. They should think about adding some more color like red, or maybe purple.' The Jolteon thought to herself and then decided to look at the time. Thankfully, there was a clock the showed her she was an hour and thirty mintes early. "What the hey now?! I knew I should've just walked." Citrine said and let out a sigh.

She did live pretty far from Aridia Town, it would've taken a day or two for her to get here. But Citrine didn't mind the exercise for it'd help train her endurance. Alas, her older sister insisted that she just teleported with the Abra and Citrine couldn't bring herself to say no. 'And it was a pretty fun trip. So I guess being a bit early won't hurt me.' She thought and began looking around for somewhere to sit. Citrine's eyes fell upon a bench with a person already occupying one side of it. She could see he was an Umbreon and looking at the other ATS stations. Citrine decided to take the time to go up to him and introduce herself since he is a possible classmate. "Hi, I'm Citrine! Is this seat taken?" Riolux

 

[Runesage]

Sil dropped out of the teleport, stabilizing himself against a handrail designed for the purpose. He spotted few others in the building, just a Jolteon and an Umbreon. "I wonder if they traveled together," his dad mused from where he stood a few feet away from Sil.

"It doesn't look like it, they're still getting introduced." Sil mentally replied.

"You wanna go talk to them?" His mom asked him, concerned.

"Nah, probably best not to scare off any students with my insanity yet. They can't see you, and might be a little alarmed if I start talking to you in front of them." Sil replied to her.

"Hey it looks like there's some brochures over here with the elective classes on it. Wanna sign up for any?" His best friend Miles said.

"Yeah, let's take a look at them." Sil said to Miles, grabbing a brochure and sitting down to read.

Zach admittedly jumped a little when the Jolteon walked up to him. While he'd certainly noticed her arrive, considering the teleportation makes at least some sound, he honestly hadn't expected her to walk up to him and he'd just looked back down at his pamphlet when she walked up and introduced herself. "Oh? Nice to meet ya. I'm Zach. Nope. That seat's not taken at all. Just got here myself." he said, gesturing to her that it was okay to sit down. He spotted a Meowstic behind her and would've waved if he hadn't seemed busy.

"Ughhhh it took FOR-EH-VER to get here!"
Adagio complained, stretching her arms over her head languidly as she looked around the ATS station she was just dropped into.
"I mean, we had to jump between like fifteen different depots just to get here! That's ridiculous." She looked behind her as her best friend Mars popped into the space as well, holding not only his bags, but hers as well. She gave him a devilish grin as he plopped the bags onto the floor. His eyes narrowed as she gave him that trademark sassy Salazzle grin and says, ".... I hate you so much."
"You love me!"
"Ughhhhh." He groaned and shoved her bags at her with his foot. She gingerly picked up the bags and skipped off, her hips swaying as she did. He sighed and let his shoulders sag a little as he watched her. Then he grabbed his bags and walked after her. Anyone nearby looked at the massive Garchomp with apprehension. Even for a Garchomp, he was huge. He couldn't help but to feel a little self conscious of all the stares as he sat down next to Adagio, opposite an Umbreon and Jolteon.
"What do you think it's going to be like?" She said, looking up at her massive friend, her legs crossed gingerly at the ankle. "Do you think it'll be some awe-inspiring place, like all these pamphlets say it is?" She plucked up a pamphlet and began to flip through it.
"I think it's gonna be a swamp, Dagi."
A pause. Then she slowed turned to look up at him. "... Whaaaat?"
"Yeah, a swamp. With pink trees and quicksand," at this point Adagio started laughing which was his cue to keep going, "and everybody there has to use jetpacks, whether you can fly or not! Oh! And everybody's farts smell like cotton candy- I dunno!" He gave her a playful shove that nearly toppled her over, "What do you expect me to say?"
"I expect you to give a serious answer!"
"Well then you clearly don't know me very well."

OOC: Sorry this took so long to get up

The entire environment changed around Sennyu. She was no longer standing in the designated ATS section of the semi-busy Goldenrod train station. Instead she was in a spotless, bright white room. She hated it. It was too exposed and most of all too bright. But worst of all it was spotless. It made Sennyu feel horribly out of place. Though she tried to clean up the best she could, her close we're still fairly dirty, and her hoodie had a hole in the armpit. She wasn't used to cleanliness, and the place was practically the embodiment of it. She was also nauseous. Sennyu almost never teleported. She had never needed to. The sneasel almost never travelled. In fact the farthest she had ever been from home was a day trip to Mt. Silver back when her father was alive to see where her ancestors had come from.

She braced herself against the handrail and examined the Pokémon around her. There were four—no five Pokémon there so far. She was the sixth one to arrive. Sennyu sized up her future opponents and classmates. One of them, the Jolteon, would be in her house. Hopefully she wouldn't be too intolerable. She thought she could probably an Meowstic, based on type advantage alone. She wouldn't get cocky though. She's heard what could happen if they lost control. An Umbreon would probably pretty even. The Salazzle she wouldn't want to mess with in battle. Then there was the Garchomp. Sennyu had a major type advantage against the dragon, but he was absolutely enourmous. She was probably faster though. She shook her head. Of course it would be her first instinct to decide who to and not to pick fights with. She pulled her dirty hoodie over her head, stuck her hands in her pockets, and walked over to the darkest corner, trying to look intimidating.

Kliff & Klay

"Do you hear the people sing? Singing the songs of angry men!" Kliff sang as he appeared in the ATS Center.

"It is the music of a people who will not be slaves again!" Klay sung out as she appeared next to the male Mimikyu.

" When the beating of the drums echoes the beating of your heart" Klay continued as she started dancing around. Kliff started laughing, causing Klay to stop.

"What's so funny?" Klay asked.

" You mixed up heart and drum again." Kliff answered, still snickering. Klay started laughing hysterically alongside him, looking like a maniac in the process. Others wouldn't know but she actually mixed up the words during their production of 'Les Miserables' during the summer and a lot of fanatics were angry, almost causing a riot until Klay & Kliff were able to subdue them with more music.

Klay looked around, "There's no fanatics here is there?"

Kliff looked around and spotted 6 other people there. So much for being the first ones there. He glanced at his watch and saw that he was about 45 minutes early.

"Nope, but we still have quite a bit of time before others show up," Kliff answered. Klay shrugged her shoulders as she looked back at the exit they had come through. A couple of seconds later a bunch of rodent Pokemon entered. A Raichu and a Raticate were pulling two wagons loaded with bags.

The Pokemon crowded around Kliff and Klay, giving them hugs.

"We'll see you guys later! Don't forget to visit during holidays! Remember to brush your teeth! Make some friends, maybe even love! Keep your grdes up! Eat hea-"

"Calm down Auntty! We'll be fine" Klay told the Raticate. The Raticate just smiled as she handed Klay the wagon containing her belongings. It wasn't a lot, just some clothes, snacks, and a bunch of costumes and books of music.

"Make sure to watch Klay, Kliff. You know how she gets sometimes! Your mother also said that she's sorry she had to work, but to make sure you spoke to her as soon as you get your new phone."

"No problem Mr. Chet! And tell her I love her!" Kliff told the Raichu, as he received the handle to his belongings. He had A LOT, the pile being about three times taller than Kliff. It included clothes, costumes, music, a bunch of games, and most importantly, his violin, guitar, saxophone, his keyboard, and portable organ. He had a Grand Piano and a Pipe Organ at his home in Alola, but he wasn't allowed to bring those due to how big they were.

After a couple more minutes of saying goodbye, Klay's family finally left. Klay and Kliff dragged the wagons over to the side of the room with the least amount of people for space reasons. Klay spotted a sneasel in the corner and decided to introduce the two of them.

"Hi! I'm Klay! and this is Kliff!" She said gesturing to the Mimikyu. Kliff in response waved as he began to sing a song from the musical "Carrie".

"If I can make it down the stairs. If I can make it to the door. If I can open it and say, 'Oh Tommy, Hi.' Maybe he won't even notice that I'm staring at the floor. But if other girls can do this why can't I." Kliff sang, in a beautiful alto voice. "Why Not Me" was one of his favorite songs because of how much he felt he related to Carrie when it came to interacting with others, although it was for different reasons. Because of his ability to play any part, in his second year of middle school, he had played the girl in the production, which was why he even knew about the show. As he continued singing, he made his way to the other side of the room where everyone else was at and started to input the electives for him and Klay. He, of course, knew what he wanted to do and for Klay, he and her had talked about it on the way to the ATS.

Why Not Me

 

[Davod]

"Hi! I'm Klay and this is Kliff!" A Minun, apparently named Klay, suddenly exclaimed the greeting to Sennyu, who had been zoned out. The Sneasel was startled and quickly attempted to defend herself. She threw herself into a defensive stance, though open to run away, before realizing she was overreacting. There was no threat, no danger. She slowly lowered her guard. This person would be in her house as well. Sennyu gave a mentle groan. This person seemed annoying. "Hi Klay," Sennyu boredly, not even bothering to look up. She didn't even giver her own name. This annoyance didn't need to know. Sennyu' sears peeked up. Who was singing? And why? A Mimikyu was singing some kind of musical. "Seriously? Please, stop," she said annoyed, just barely audible.

Sil looked up from where he'd been signing up for electives as a Salazzle, a truly enormous Garchomp, a Sneasle, a Mimikyu, and a Plusle made their way into the station. "It's getting more crowded in here." He nervously told Miles as he noticed the Sneasle sizing him up.

"You'll be fine. Last elective spot?" Miles asked him. He'd already signed up for Band and Battle class.

"Archaeology." His mom said. Sil looked up at her, then realized it was another premonition.

"Archaeology it is then." Sil finished signing up for the electives while the Plusle and Mimikyu were singing a song from 'Les Miserables.' Suddenly, the Plusle mixed up some of the lyrics, and the pair collapsed into a fit of laughter. "I'm going to go talk to them. They seem to have a taste in music."

"You go Sil!" Miles cheered him on, and the three politely faded from sight. He wandered over to the Mimikyu just as he began to sing a song from a different musical.

"Hi, I'm Sil. Isn't that song from Carrie?" Sil telepathically asked the singing Mimikyu.

"Oh my god."
"Oh my god, no."
"Do you hear that?"
"Adagio no!"
"ADAGIO YES!"
The Salazzle had picked up some music from her favorite musical. How in the world did somebody else know about this show? Mars sighed as Adagio jumped to her feet and ran off in the direction of the voice. He sighed and opened Adagio's bag preemptively.
Adagio found the source of the voice being that of a Mimikyuu singing Carrie's signature song. And it took a LOT of effort to not squee and instead slowed to a stop. "I hear Carrieeeee! That is my favorite musical ever!" She did a little twirl and clapped her hands. "I played Sue in my high school's production of the show and I loved it! Right Mars?"
"..Yeah." The deep gravelly voice of the Garchomp sounded from the other side of the depot.
"IN was my favorite number by far! And The World According to Chris! and- Ohhhh I can't pick one!" She flailed her hands about a bit then suddenly seemed to realize she was fangirling pretty hard and cleared her throat, running her left hand over her head in an attempt to smooth her scales. "Ahem- Sorry, um, I get a little excited sometimes- I'm Adagio." She introduced herself, looking at the Mimikyuu and the Meowstic that just now showed up.

Kliff & Klay

Klay looked at the Sneasel, expecting them to say more. When they didn't Klay, just shrugged her shoulders and skipped over to Kliff.


Kliff finally finished signing up him and Klay for electives. He signed up for Chorus, Band, and Theater, and signed Klay up for Chorus, Theater, and the Outdoors Club. Since she didn't know how to play any instrument and liked to get around, they decided she could do the Outdoors Club.

Suddenly, as he continued singing, he heard speaking inside of his head, "Hi, I'm Sil. Isn't that song from Carrie?"

At first Kliff was surprised, but once he turned around and saw the Meowstic, he thought it was safe to assume he was the one communicating with him.

" Uh ... Yes, it uhm is!" Kliff blushed as he tried to think of the right words to say.

"Have you seen it before?" Kliff asked, immediately regretting it. Kliff mentally facepalmed as he realized that if he knew it was from Carrie then he must have seen it before.

"Sorry ... That was a stupid question ..." Kliff stated, blushing even deeper as he had a sudden interest in watching the floor. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that he had accidentally jerked the wagon, causing his guitar to fall off the top, until it was too late and it hit him in the head.

"Oww ..." Kliff said, rubbing his head.

"I hear Carrieeeee! That is my favorite musical ever!" Kliff looke dup to see a Salazzle coming his way. The Salazzle did a twirl and clapped her hands together, causing Kliff to smile. She reminded him of Klay and knew he would like her already.

"I played Sue in my high school's production of the show and I loved it! Right Mars?" The Salazzle asked. Then from across the depot, Kliff heard a voice say, "Yeah". Kliff looked and saw that it was a massive Garchomp. Kliff was mesmerized.

How can anyone be that tall?!? Kliff thought to himself.

"IN was my favorite number by far! And The World According to Chris! and- Ohhhh I can't pick one!" Kliff watched as the Salazzle was obviously pretty excited by the musical and Kliff didn't blame her, Carrie is awesome, "Ahem- Sorry, um, I get a little excited sometimes- I'm Adagio."

"You're fine! Carrie is amazing and then the songs just adds to the illusions. My favorite song to listen to was 'Why Not Me', my favorite song to sing was 'Destruction', and I played Carrie in my middle school's production." Kliff replied, blushing a little at the end. Some people just couldn't understand how a boy could play a girl part for some reason. Hopefully, Adagio and Sil weren't those types of people.

Klay walked up and smiled at Kliff, " Making friends already?"

Kliff chuckled, " Anyway, my name is Kliff and my Plusle friend here is Klay."

Kliff turned to Klay, " I think she loves Carrie just as much as me and you."

Klay immediately perked up and started going on a rant about everything Carrie-related. The musicals, the movies, the songs, the book, Carrie's red hair, the highest notes in the songs for the musical, the differences between the multiple productions, and all that. Sudenly, she cleared her throat.

"Sorry about that.As the top performer at my middle school, I got to choose which part I got to play. I wanted to be Carrie but I decided to go with Chris just to add that to my resume. My favorite song however was definitely Carrie. Especially since she got to say 'is it any harder to say than goddamn total spastic and weirdo and dumb bitch'. I'm not going to lie though, I loved playing the bad guy for once and singing 'The World According To Chris' was probably one of my best performances yet."

Then she did a dramatic twirl, before singing, "The World According To Chris! Is Better to strike than get struck!"

Then she pointed dramatically towards Kliff, who smiled in return before singing in a tenor voice, "Better to screw than get screwed!"

Then they both pointed to Adagio.

She then turned like she was a seperate person talking to Chris, "But it doesn't have to be that way! What does it cost to be kind?"
She then turned back to her Chris spot and put on her sassy Salazzle face. "Ewww, who are you and what have you done with my best friend? So Billy, tell me, am I right, or am I right?"
"..."
"... Billy."
"..."
"... MARS."
"I'm not doing it this time!" The Garchomp shouted from his seat.
"Pleeeeeease???" She begged, putting a heartbroken tone in her voice. That's the kicker.
"Don't give me that tone of voice!"
"PLEEEEEASE?"
"Ughhhhh!"
The heavy footsteps of the massive Garchomp approaching sounded, until he was standing next to Adagio. He remained silent for a moment, then sighed and said, in a very monotone voice, but still in time with the music, "Trust me."
"I swear there's a dick in every class." He tapped his foot a little, "Not fair, each and every time I fail those losers pass. Hey every one of them can kiss my ass!" Adagio gave an excited squeal and hugged his big beefy arm and sang, "You wonder why I love him!" Before looking at Kliff and Klay.

Citrine gave Zach a warm smile and sat beside him. "Pleasure to meet ya too Zach." She said and shook his hand. The Jolteon took a look around when she saw how more and more Abra began to show up dropping kids from all over the place. "Boy this place is really getting packed!" She said as her gaze returned to Zach. "All these new 'mons look friendly enough. I kind of wanna go meet a few so things won't be so awkward ya know?" Citrine chuckled a bit. "Wanna come with?"

Zach himself had noticed the place had started to fill up with what was likely his fellow students. There was now 8 of them here and, while it was a bit overwhelming at first and he honestly had no idea what they were singing, he definitely wanted to go and say hi. "Sure thing. Always up for meeting new faces," he told her as he slipped the pamphlet into his over-the-shoulder bag. Standing up, he smiled and gestured towards the group in a sort of casual 'after you' manner. "Shall we?"

Sil shook his head. "Actually, I haven't. I heard that song once and liked it, but the only time I could have seen it was when I was young. I didn't do too well in crowds back then." He watched the Mimikyu, Kliff, fumble with his words for a little bit, and smiled slightly. When the guitar case fell onto Kliff's head, Sil caught it before it could hit the floor. This is a nice guitar. Sil thought as he peeked inside the case. He took a look at the stack of bags and cases next to the Mimikyu and realized how many instruments they owned. Sil held the case reverently as the Salazzle and Garchomp joined the other two in song. So this is what it means by 'geeking out.' Sil thought to himself.

He would've been nervous with all the 'mons around, but the singing and rhythm put his mind at ease from the state of tension that it had before. Almost unconsciously, he reached into the case and pulled the guitar out, and began to accompany. He couldn't be sure where the music came from, but sometimes being a hypersensitive psychic had it's perks. He felt bits and pieces of the music flowing from each of their minds, and played, letting all of his tension go.

"Hi hi hi" Christa shouted in a loud but still somehow cheerful voice as she left the abra thing. "Yay, music music!" She cried out apon hearing the guitar before bursting into song. She can't wait to meet people, but music is more important!

Kliff & Klay

Klay grinned as she decided to continue the song. She started singing in a baritone voice, "One year, there was this good looking guy. So queer, and on top of that, he had a wandering eye. One day he looks at me a -HUUH!- Bye-Bye!"

Kliff laughed as he song in a Alto voice, " I bet he got the message "

Then Klif and Klay started dancing around like maniacs while continuing the song, "We\'re here to tell you how this whole damn freak show works. If you don\'t listen, then you\'re jerks."

Kliff launched Klay up in the air and she did a bunch of flips and spins before landing in Kliff's arms, " The world according to Chris!"

Kliff and Klay laughed as Kliff put Klay down.

Then Kliff turned towards Sil, " You're really good at the guitar. Are you doing Band? Because it'd be nice to have a friend in there with me as Klay has no talent with musical instruments whatsoever."

Kliff laughed as he rubbed the back of his head.

Klay turned towards Adagio and Mars and was giggling, " You guys were amazing! Are you doing Chorus or Theater. We could do another production of Carrie! With all of us in it, it'll be amazing."

Klay became starry-eyed as she started thinking of who'd play who.

"We'll have to come up with audition songs, we have to find someone for every part. I wouldn't mind being Chris again, but I'd prefer to learn a new part. Maybe Kliff could be Chris. We could also have one actor play multiple parts, like someone plays the Mother and Billy. Which production version would we do? Maybe the newest one since it has the most songs." Klay started ranting. Kliff patted her shoulder.

"Klay, calm down! You're ranting again!" Kliff told her. Klay smiled and took a deep breath before smiling.

"Sorry! You know how excited I get about Carrie!" Klay said, singing the last word as if she was about to start singing the song from the musical. This caused both herself and Kliff to laugh.

Sil held the guitar close. "Yes, I'm doing band. It helps me cope with large groups." Suddenly he realized the guitar wasn't his. "OH! I'm so sorry! I should have asked, it's just the music..." He floundered helplessly as he put the guitar back in its case.

"You shouldn't have used his stuff, but I'm glad you're making friends." His mom said.

"Be quiet mom..." Sil mentally 'whispered' to her. He floated the guitar case up on top of the stack, securing it down. "I'm sorry." He repeated. "It's a beautiful guitar." He continued lamely. He wasn't sure how to go on in social situations like this.

"...and nobody paid attention to my singing. Is it because I joined in mid-song, I sure hope so." Christa pouted, annoyed that she was being ignored. "Um guys, hello I'm Christa" Christa said as she shook the hand of the closest person to her, Klay.

 

[explosiveKitten]

"Oh my gosh, always!" She giggled and waved a hand, "I just can't help myself!" She started to sway her hips and move her shoulders, "Once the music starts I just start moving, and I can't stop myself!" She chuckled.
"I'm not into Theatre, sooo no." Mars said, looking at all the small mons around him, before wandering off to go sign up for electives.
"Ahhh, don't mind him, he's a sourpuss 'jock' type, ya know?" She nudged Klay gently, then chuckled and clasped her hands together, "I love Carrie, but you know what I've always wanted to do?" Her eyes practically sparkled as she even thought about it, "The Count of Monte Cristo!" She twirled around, careful to not whack anyone with her tail, "I've always wanted to play Mercedes!" She turned to the newcomer, a Primarina and said, "The glamour! The lights! The muuuusic!" She sang the u out lightly, "Ohhhh I would love to do that show."

Kliff & Klay

Kliff smiled, " That's great. Hopefully, we can do some amazing music together."

Kliff watched as Sil then fumbled around with the guitar. "OH! I'm so sorry! I should have asked, it's just the music..."

Kliff waved it off, " No you're fine. I usually let others borrow my instruments anyway when I'm not using them. I packed a second guitar anyway. The only instrument that's off limits is my violin but that's a topic for another day."

"It's a beautiful guitar."

Kliff beamed, "Thanks! I got it last year for Christmas. So ... is guitar the only instrument you play or are there others?"

Klay, hearing The Count of Monte Cristo, immediately dropped out of Carrie mode and into CMC mode, " Oh My GOD! How could I have forgotten about that!"

Klay, once her head was shook, grabbed the Primarina's hand and looked into her eyes, " Montego has always been my favorite character, despite being the bad guy. I could finally be able to sing 'A Story Told' in a production. But then again, 'I Will Be There' is a very touching piece."

Klay released the Primarina's hand, " We already know you can sing, so the only question is who would you want to be in 'The Count of Monte Cristo'?"

Klay then mentally facepalmed, " Sorry, I'm skipping ahead. First of all, what' electives are you doing and THEN which role would you want to play?"

"Well luckily for us I am doing choir and theater once I sign up," Christa said, excited that their will be so much music here. "and to answer your other question I am sorry to say I haven't done this play in years making me unfaimilier with the plot, though I believe Valentine might work if I remember the role correctly..." Christa trailed off. Eager to change the subject she pointed at a Sneasel mopeing in the corner and asked "who's he?". Then Christa mentaly facepalmed, "Oh my gosh sorry, first what is your name and what electives are you taking?"

Citrine nodded and subconsciously grabbed Zach's sleeve and began making her way to the group of people. The Jolteon didn't seem even to notice her action; it was somewhat of a habit she picked up traveling with her sisters and brother. She would always grab their hand or sleeve so they wouldn't get lost. Citrine made her way to the middle of the room and evaluated everyone. 'Hm, I would say hi to the Meowsic who just played the guitar, but he seems very occupied. The Plusle and the Salazzle look like tons of fun, but they're occupied too.' Citrine continued to glance around the room and before finally spotting the Garchomp walking away from the action. 'Bingo!'

"Come on Zach!" The Jolteon exclaimed and made her way to the Garchomp near the electives table.

Zach blinked, caught a bit off-guard when Citrine had grabbed his sleeve and honestly had no idea how to respond to it considering he grew up in the sleepiest, smallest town in the world. He did, however, have an appropriate reaction to her dragging him towards the Garchomp. 'Oh...Arceus that guy is huge!' he thought to himself as he looked up at him. He'd learned about all the different species of Pokemon as part of his basic home-school education, but he'd never seen one in person. It was honestly a little scary as Citrine seemed to want to talk to him of all the 'mons here, but he'd learned not to judge a book by its cover and he was the only one that wasn't talking to people. As the two of them walked up, Zach spoke up. "Um...hi there!" Zach said to the Garchomp in a friendly tone.
